The Game Awards 2018: The complete winners list

The game awards went live at 7 a.m. India time today morning and in case you missed them, worry not, we’ve got you covered. Not only will we be listing the winners below, but at the end of this story you can watch the complete Game Awards show which has some fantastic orchestral performances, the voice actors of God of War – Kratos and Atreus give out an award in their iconic voice, and of course a lot of new game trailers. One of the highlights of the shows was that the three big names, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo i.e., Shawn Layden, Phil Spector and Reggie Fils-Aimé respectively took the stage to talk about the art form that is gaming. It was an incredible morning here for gaming. Sure, heavy weights like Hideo Kojima and Death Stranding were absent, but I guess we can expect to see more details of some of the AAA games soon. Anticipated games like Anthem got a new trailer at the Game Awards and the creators of the original Fallout game who are now a part of Obsidian Entertainment announced The OuterWorlds! The game is a new single-player RPG coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC in 2019! Below is the list of all the winners of the Game Awards 2018
